Snapshots-Thread Candy

Is there anything that excites a crafter more than new supplies?!

I mean, obviously, babies, houses, family and such are way more exciting, but outside the realm of "the big stuff", is there anything that excites a crafter more than new supplies?!

The Husband and I visited a local sewing shop a couple of weekends ago and to my everlasting delight, small spools of cotton sewing thread were on sale for a dollar a piece. I loaded up on some new colors for my button embroideries, then went home and daydreamed about what it might be like to have five sets of hands so I could whip all those new embroideries just as fast as I could conceive them in my head...

Sometimes I just want to wrap myself up in thread, head to toe, and never have to worry about wearing clothing ever again.

Until I think about how much like a giant sausage I would probably look. Then I become content to simply open my desk drawer and dream about the day when having all those extra limbs will be scientifically possible. Because that's a much less weird thing to want to do.
